From Heaven and Back Again

Poetry that moves, poetry that challenges, poetry that can bring a smile to your face, and poetry that releases people's fears and frustrations is as rare as hen's teeth, but that is what we have here. Nothing so deep that it needs a degree in theology to understand it, and nothing so trite that you want to discard it.

Stewart French writes with sincerity, and an understanding borne of his joint experiences of personal isolation, as well as being part of a loving family; borne of his experiences of redundancy and relative success, and springing from his personal faith, nurtured by those in the fellowship of his local church, and by many others in the wider church.

In this short book, Stewart touches on key dates in the Christian calendar, as well as reaching the emotions as he faces, and documents, his personal doubts, fears and frustrations.

Poezia care se misca, poezia care provoaca, poezia care iti poate aduce un zambet pe fata si poezia care elibereaza temerile si frustrarile oamenilor sunt la fel de rare ca dintii gainii, dar asta avem aici. Nimic atat de profund incat are nevoie de o diploma in teologie pentru a-l intelege si nimic atat de banal incat sa vrei sa-l arunci. Stewart French scrie cu sinceritate si o intelegere a experientelor sale comune de izolare personala, precum si a face parte dintr-o familie iubitoare; purtat din experientele sale de redundanta si succes relativ si izvorat din credinta sa personala, hranita de cei din comunitatea bisericii sale locale si de multi altii din biserica mai larga. In aceasta scurta carte, Stewart atinge datele cheie din calendar, precum si atingerea emotiilor pe masura ce se confrunta, si documente, indoielile sale personale, frici si frustrari.
